A recent leak suggests that two beloved characters may be added to Persona 5 Tactica as downloadable content after the game's release. The original Persona 5, which debuted on the PlayStation 4 in 2016, was incredibly popular and captivated players with its thrilling narrative about a group of rebellious teenagers fighting corruption one dungeon at a time. In 2019, an updated version called Persona 5 Royal was released, and since then, the Phantom Thieves' story has continued through various spinoff games. The most recent spinoff, Persona 5: The Phantom X, was a free-to-play mobile RPG that underwent an open beta in China earlier this year.
The Phantom Thieves show no signs of slowing down, as Atlus recently announced another spinoff called Persona 5 Tactica. This new game combines the charming Chibi-like art style of the Persona Q series with the strategic turn-based gameplay of Fire Emblem. In Persona 5 Tactica, the Phantom Thieves find themselves transported to a peculiar medieval world controlled by a malevolent army. All the beloved main party members from the original Persona 5 make a return in Persona 5 Tactica, and they are joined by a mysterious new ally named Erina.
MbKKssTBhz5, a Twitter user, recently shared artwork that supposedly features two upcoming DLC characters for Persona 5 Tactica: Kasumi Yoshizawa and Goro Akechi. These characters are said to be part of a DLC pack called "Repaint Your Heart." While this information has not been verified yet, the artwork aligns with the art style of Persona 5 Tactica. The leaker, who previously shared accurate details about Persona 3 Reloaded before its announcement alongside Tactica, posted the image.
Die-hard Persona 5 fans will likely recognize Goro Akechi as a charismatic teen detective who initially investigated the Phantom Thieves and later joined them towards the end of Persona 5. On the other hand, Kasumi Yoshizawa was introduced in Persona 5 Royal as a supporting character with her own storyline and played a significant role in the game's additional final act.
Goro and Kasumi, who are both significant characters in the popular Persona 5 universe, have been the subject of rumors regarding their inclusion as DLC characters in Persona 5 Tactica. However, it is important to note that these rumors have not been officially confirmed, and fans should remain cautious until Atlus provides a more definite announcement regarding any post-launch content for the newest Persona 5 spin-off. Persona 5 Tactica is set to release on November 17 for PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
